Smiles. Smiles are the universal sign of happiness.

Did you know that smiling is actually more contagious than the flu? And that studies have should that when you smile, a true smile, "it affects certain muscles that actually make you feel happy or joyful. You smile because you are happy and when certain muscles are hit, your brain sends even more happy signals or endorphins."

Smiling is the ultimate gift you can give yourself, and others will catch your smile, too.

We hope the following smiling animals are contagious to you, too! Here's to a happy day!
